8.One of India's top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses,saying addiction to surfing,gaming and blogging was affecting students'performance,making them lonely and even suicidal.
Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them."Now,a student doesn't even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,"said Prakash Gopalan,dean of Student Affairs."The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone.This is not healthy in our opinion."
IITMumbai,with about 5,000 students,is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world.They are also a talent pool for global technology giants.But their hard courses,tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students.Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students,and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years.Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies,but many also use it to surf,chat,download movies and music,blog and for gaming.
"Starting Monday,Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m.a(chǎn)nd 12:30 p.m.a(chǎn)t IITMumbai's 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells."Gopalan said.But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated."Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (搖籃曲) to go to sleep."said Rajiv,an electronics student.

分析 由于網(wǎng)絡對學生的生活和學習產(chǎn)生了巨大的影響,印度工學院限制學生上網(wǎng),鼓勵學生走出宿舍,積極參加社會活動.
解答 25.答案是D.細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第一段句子saying addiction to surfing,gaming and blogging was affecting students'performance,making them lonely and even suicidal.學生整日沉迷于上網(wǎng)、玩電腦游戲和寫博客,影響了他們的學習成績,并助長了他們內(nèi)心的孤獨感和自殺傾向.所以答案選D.
26.答案是C.詞義猜測題,根據(jù)前文句子But their hard courses,tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students,可見給他們的生活帶來的影響是不好的,depressive"壓抑的"與dysfunctional是并列的,應該是"變態(tài)的,反常的",所以答案選C.
27.答案是D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)短文第后一段內(nèi)容"從周一開始,學校在校內(nèi)的13個宿舍實施限制上網(wǎng)措施,每晚11點至12:30這一時段網(wǎng)絡將被關(guān)閉,以此來鼓勵學生早睡、并試圖用這種辦法促使他們走出宿舍."所以答案選D.
28.答案是B.推理判斷題,短文最后一段提到:這一舉措實施的并不順利,學生們說他們不喜歡自己的生活受管制.其中電子系的學生拉吉維說:"現(xiàn)在我們得聽著搖籃曲入睡了."由此推測學生中有抱怨情緒.所以答案選B.
點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準確把握作者觀點.
